Prelude And Fugue Op. 16 #2 Eprint

Composed in 1845, opus 16 contains three preludes and fugues for piano, in G minor, B-flat major, and D minor, respectively. They show Clara Schumann's obvious love and knowledge of Bach's music on which she modeled her preludes and fugues. Opus 16, no. 2 could be idiomatic organ writing. The Prelude is more chordal and Romantic in character, while the Fugue has a characteristic fugal theme.
